There are moments when my skin just flares up out of nowhere and it causes extreme panic. Not knowing the source of sensitivity, excessive dryness, or blazing breakouts is even worse since that doesn’t make figuring out a solution any easier. While not everyone can have a dermat on speed dial who will come to your rescue at any time, having a stash of saviour skincare products that calm the skin no matter what is of utmost importance.
Belonging to the combination skin type category and having to test out numerous beauty products regularly has me experiencing sensitivity often. Seeing as we’re transitioning into colder weather, skin sensitivity can creep up on any of us unannounced. That’s why I’m gonna quit gatekeeping these soothing and healing skin products so that you too can save face in case skin trouble arrives.
Best Soothing Skincare Products To Treat Sensitivity
The Gentlest Cleanse
With a pure aloe vera gel based blended with tulsi leaves, mint, and olive oil, this natural face gel cleanser should be the first thing you reach for if you’re noticing sensitivity. A clean visage will ensure any germs are out of your skin, but opting for a non-drying face wash with zero active ingredients is essential. This tulsi gel face wash fits the bill and has always relieved my skin when I needed it the most.
Your Skin’s Best Friend
Do not underestimate the soothing abilities of the Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water Face & Body Mist. Whenever you experience breakouts and can’t even get a moisturiser to soothe your skin, simply spritzing on this mist regularly will control your painful breakouts and keep your skin hydrated and soothed. It will also reduce any itching sensation and can hydrate dry skin on the go.
The Targeted Solution
When pimples have plagued your skin and simply cutting back on skincare products isn’t fixing the problem, turn to this super serum by The Minimalist. Containing 10% niacinamide, this serum is formulated to reduce breakouts and control oil production. It is not a drying acne product, unlike salicylic acid serums. This serum makes your skin smooth and soft and instantly soothes acne.
Healing With Ceramides
A ceramide cream is a must-have in your skincare stash. The POPxo Sun Soother After Sun Lotion is infused with ceramides and it does more than just soothe sunburn. This cream helps soothe breakouts and excessive dryness. It balances any skin barrier dysfunction and gets your skin back on track. This moisturiser is also non-greasy and it feels super refreshing.
Under Eye Conditions
Sometimes the skin around your eyes can get sensitive and dry too. This usually happens in colder weather or when you’ve stayed up all night, or rub your eyes too much. The BiE Eyefinity All-in-One Eye Gel is a soothing under-eye gel that hydrates the skin around your eyes and eliminates all dryness. The gel has gold and silver leaf which also helps brighten your skin and tackle signs of ageing.
Turmeric Gel Shield
Protecting your skin from environmental aggressors is key when dealing with breakouts. The Organic Harvest Aloe Vera Gel With Turmeric is a go-to product for shielding your troubled skin. You can use it as a spot treatment on pimples and even on wounds left back by broken pimples. It will soothe and calm the area and heal the skin. Applying a layer of this gel before bedtime and washing it off in the morning is a great alternative to night creams or sleeping masks when your skin is irritable.
Disclaimer: Performing a patch test before liberally using new skincare products is highly recommended.
